Commerce was host to Douglas Craig, Director of Sales at Beach City Brewery and writer for Beers in Paradise and Beer-Paper LA, as he demonstrated the ins and outs of brewing great beer at home. “Any-time I can talk to people about craft beer is exciting,” says Craig “It doesn’t matter if it is in Los Angeles, Orange County or as Senior Citizens Center, anyone interested discussing home brewing is a conversation I want to be part of.”
The class was held Thursday, August 21, 2014 at the Senior Citizens Center with an approximate 80 participants enjoying appetizers and beer samples. The two-hour presentation educated attendees on the basics of home brewing. Examples of the various types of hops and malts were on hand to examine as well as those mech-anisms and recipes that are easily available through home brew shops. Craig states that he was very impressed by the degree of se-riousness that the Commerce Library took in organizing the presentation from the wheat centerpieces to the variety of home brew books that were made accessible to the literature that was provided to each attendee. One lucky winner received the door prize giveaway, which was a home
beer start-up kit, valued at $30, provided by the City of Commerce Library.
“It is really cool to see how quickly Los Angeles and Orange County beer sea-son has grown in the last few years,” com-mented Harrison McCee, one of the best brewers in Southern California according to Craig. McCee is currently an assistant brewer at two different breweries, striving to bring home craft brewing and beer to a larger scale and broader audience.
Beach Cities Brewery opened their doors May 10, 2014 in Huntington Beach and it has been steadily growing and spreading the word about the brand. “A lot of work has gone into getting our name out there and getting our brand on draft at lo-cal bars and restaurants,” notes Craig “We are slowly being able to move out of the Huntington Beach area and into the local presence here in this area.” Being imme-diately accepted and brought into the craft beer community, you can find the brand locally at Lock & Key Social Drinkery in Downey.
Craig had a craft beer epiphany in 2008 “Thanks to the wonderful offerings of San Diego breweries and a serendipitous lunch at Beachwood BBQ” which he says solidi-fied his passion. Years in the food and bev-erage business, from the kitchen to the bar and everywhere in between, helped him discover the beer industry.
Beach City Brewery flagship drinks were created with the characteristics of Surf City in mind and seasonal flavors that reflect and represent all of Orange County. Beach City is the first production beer in Huntington Beach.
Beers In Paradise/beersinparadise.com is a Southern California based website de-voted to educating the public about better beers and better beer experiences. The goal is to produce articles, photographs and vid-eos on beer education, culture, events and reviews.

A 57 year-old resident of Cerritos figured in a fatal bicycle accident that occurred along Figueroa Blvd. in Eagle Rock at dusk early last week.
Edgardo Gabat, a professional cyclist and an engineer by profession, was first pronounced brain dead and finally passed away after admission to an area hospital in Eagle Rock.
Reports said that Gabat was with a group of Filipino cyclists who called themselves “Adobo Belo” during that fateful evening in Eagle Rock.
The group was cruising along Figueroa Boulevard just after sunset when Gabat’s front tire hit a stone that caused his bike to twist sending the victim off the ground and in the process hit the back of his head on the concrete his helmet notwithstand-ing.
Reports said Gabat, somehow, was still
responding when his companions came to his aid before calling 911. However, his condition took turn for the worst upon his arrival in the hospital.
Louie Jamir, a fellow professional bik-er in his early 60s who lives in Placentia but who did not ride with the group that day, said, “Edgar has ridden at least five 200-mile cruises in just a two-year period which is considered quite above average and more on the aggressive side by our standard.” The dead cyclist’s wife confid-ed to a family friend that her husband was really not keen in joining his group that particular evening but the same somehow persisted because they have two guest rid-ers on that occasion.
Viewings for the body of the late cy-clist were held in a funeral parlor in Pasa-dena where most of his siblings reside. Final interment took place at Rose Hills Cemetery.

Rollover your old 401(k) to an office in your neighborhood
Officials at Cerritos City Hall have rolled out the latest piece of public art this past week with at the Cerritos Sculpture Garden.
With a price tag of $300,000, the quirky, twisted metal artwork sits dramati-cally at the north entry point of the Sculp-ture Garden located at the Cerritos Civic Center at the corner of 183rd Street and Bloomfield Avenue.
Cliff Garten, the artist and creator of the work that was given the formal name of “Infinity,” was in the works for almost two years, and was originally slated to be completed this past July 4th to be unveiled as part of the city’s annual “Let Freedom Ring” Celebration.
But a complex fabrication process was cited for the delay.
It was July 9, 2012 when the Cerritos City Council approved the concept for a “well illuminated art piece,” but it seemed city officials, along with the Fine Arts Commission, did not investigate what it would take to install the piece.
Assistant City Manager Kathy Matsu-moto cited publicly during the past sev-eral months that a “complex fabrication process” was being cited as the main rea-son why the art piece was several months behind schedule.
Matsumoto told city council members that after the original engineering and “foundation design process” was com-pleted, she along with Garten and city en-gineers determined that the piece needed to have a durable, “solid base” installed in order to “keep the art piece intact for the next 50 years.”
The cost of the artwork was first ap-
proved at $275,000. Annie Hylton, the Public Information
Officer for the City of Cerritos, told Hews Media Group-Community Newspaper this week that the final price of the work was $300,000.
In the past, Matsumoto stressed pub-licly that is was “important that the lights be strategically positioned far enough from the art piece so as to highlight the various curves of the sculpture, while cre-ating ways to protect the lights from water, vandalism and damage and the city from potential liability and additional costs.”
Hylton said the final touches on the lighting should be completed with a week.
“We are very pleased on how it turned
out, and so far the comments we have got-ten from the community has been very positive,” Hylton said in a phone inter-view.
Hylton also confirmed that the lighting will be on a timer and that different colors will be used to highlight the unusual art piece.
Hylton said that there are no formal plans for a public dedication or unveiling ceremony, but did say that members of the Cerritos City Council and members if the Fine Arts and Historical Commission gathered this past week at the site of the art work and poised for a photo.
A Lynwood resident who was visiting the Cerritos Library on Wednesday paused and looked at the artwork and remarked,
$300,000 Art Piece, Originally Approved at $275,000, Unveiled at Cerritos Sculpture Garden
With a price tag of $300,000, the quirky, twisted metal artwork sits dramatically at the north entry point of the Sculpture Garden, it was originally set at $275,000. Assistant City Manager Kathy Matsumoto cited publicly during the past several months that a “complex fabrication process” was being cited as the main reason why the art piece ended up several months behind schedule and $25,000 over budget.
“It sort of looks like a Mexican pastry, a Banuelo.”
Another Cerritos resident, Lei Pham instantly “loved it.”
“It’s beautiful, and dramatic,” Pham said. "I would like to see it lit up."
Garten's website says, "Sculpture de-fines our interaction and movement by creating energy between things, generat-ing interest in public activity, reframing our private lives and creating a sense of place within public and private realms.
A third on looker, after reading Gar-ten's statement given to him by HMG-CN said, “It looks kind of like that old toy we used to play with as kids you know, a slinky, but all tangled up. It is very pro-vocative."

Central Basin Water Director Vasquez Refuses to Acknowledge Her Role In Whistleblower Lawsuit Threatens legal action for defamation despite evidence presented by HMG-CN.
Vasquez Continues Questionable Legal Fight for Multi-Million Dollar Payday.” The relevant portions of Vazquez’ commu-nication are attached.
Vasquez’ communication accuses HMG-CN of continuing to “…print false statements indicating that I (Vasquez) am suing the Central Basin.”
Vasquez goes on to say “They are false and malicious statements intended to hurt my standing in the community. This is one of numerous examples of false informa-tion you have printed in your newspaper. Please retract your statement.”
HMG-CN stands by its story and will not print a retraction. HMG-CN interests are to serve the community by honestly and accurately reporting the actions of a corrupt and incompetent politician, whose history has been to collude with criminals, violate the law, bully, harass and lie to her fellow Board members to achieve a multi-million dollar payday. These are tactics that were first exhibited during her recall from the City of Lynwood, and are now in full display once again in her latest stint as a CBMWD Director.
HMG-CN’s story dated August 22nd stated “In August 2013, Vasquez filed a Qui Tam “whistleblower” lawsuit with the State Attorney General alleging that the
Complaint showing Vasquez is party to plaintiff. See full document at loscerritosnews.net
law firms of Buchalter Nemer and Sedg-wick Detert Moran & Arnold, attorneys Doug Wance and Curtis Parvin, former GM Art Aguilar, and 50-“does” had ille-gally formed a secret trust fund to defraud the CBMWD out of $2.7-million.”
The fact is that Vasquez did indeed file a Qui Tam lawsuit against the defen-dants listed above (copy of the complaint attached for the reader’s reference). Her name is shown on page 1, 2, 19, and 20 as the “Qui Tam Plaintiff.” HMG-CN contacted an attorney who confirmed she is a “party plaintiff” because she brought
the action on behalf of the governmental agency. Where is the false statement, Ms. Vasquez?
The story goes on to state “…Vasquez chose to pursue the lawsuit by herself, which could net her over $2-million if she prevails.”
Vasquez’ amended complaint filed by attorney Jimmie Johnson states:
“41. As a direct and proximate result of the actions and omissions of the Defen-dants as alleged herein the Plaintiff is en-titled to damages in the amount of no less than $1.75 million. Additionally, Plaintiff is entitled to treble damages pursuant to Government Code § 12651(a). Costs and expenses of this action, a civil penalty of not less than five thousand five hundred dollars ($5,500) and not more than eleven thousand dollars ($11,000) for each viola-tion of the California False Claims Act .
42. As a direct and proximate result of the actions and omissions of the Defen-dants as alleged herein the Qui Tam Plain-tiff Vasquez is entitled to a percentage of the damages as provided by law.
43. Plaintiff is also entitled to reason-able and necessary attorney’s fees incurred in initiating and prosecuting this action.”
The fact is that if Vasquez prevails, she would be entitled to a percentage of the
damages which could exceed $5-million, plus attorney’s fees. Vasquez’ portion of the award is conservatively estimated to be over $2-million. Where is the false state-ment, Ms. Vasquez?
Finally, HMG-CN August 22nd story questions former Assistant to the GM, Ron Beilke as to why Vasquez continues to pur-sue this weak lawsuit. Beilke responds:
“Vasquez is desperately working to unseat Apodaca and Chacon and have her slate elected to regain a Board majority. With a Board majority, she feels she will have the votes to settle the suit with a fa-vorable award.”
It is indisputable that Vasquez, along with political ally James Roybal (assigned to “teacher jail”), are working tirelessly with reporter Mike Sprague of the Whit-tier Daily News to write defaming and inaccurate articles about Director Arturo Chacon.
It was Chacon who first dubbed the trust fund a “slush fund” when it was uncovered by Beilke and former GM, Charles Fuentes and Chacon who voted to retain Arent Fox to conduct an independent investigation of the trust fund.
It was Chacon who adamantly refuses to agree to hire the unqualified political friends of Vasquez such as convicted fel-on Rick Mayer and Angel Gonzalez. Mr. Beilke speculates that Vasquez must ac-quire a third vote to regain a Board majori-ty, and the circumstantial evidence appears strong. Where is the false statement, Ms. Vasquez?
When CBMWD was made aware of the trust fund by Beilke and Fuentes, they were abruptly fired by Leticia Vasquez and her then-Board majority.
But after being alerted, the Board did vote to conduct an independent investiga-tion. That investigation has been conclud-ed, and the findings have been summarized
and posted on the District’s website. In addition, federal authorities have
been conducting a year-long investigation into the District’s involvement with the Calderons, and presumably the trust fund.
Why is Leticia Vasquez insisting on continuing her lawsuit given that an in-ternal investigation has been concluded and the District is cooperating with law enforcement, unless it is to line her own pockets?
District officials have estimated that the cost of responding to the Qui Tam suit has cost the District tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars. Should Vasquez’ suit fail, which seems extremely likely, the District would be exposed to additional hundreds of thousands of dollars by the defendants seeking compensation for their legal fees. Vasquez has been very vocal in her criticism of the District’s lawyers, ac-cusing them of frivolous and unnecessary billings.
The district could also get dragged into long and costly defamation lawsuits brought by the companies Vasquez named in her whistleblower case.
As we have done in the past, this paper will continue to shine a light on the sordid and illegal dealings of any corrupt politi-cian taking advantage of their position and the people they were elected to represent.
This paper was not deterred when pur-suing stories on John Noguez, the Bell Scandal, and the Calderons.
And this paper will not be intimidated by the threats of Leticia Vasquez and her cronies.
Vasquez demands a retraction because she claims the information written is false. HMG-CN doesn’t think the information is false; we just think the truth hurts.
And Ms. Vasquez, there’s more to come.

NORWALK LADY LANCERS
16-7 overall last season, 11-1 in the Suburban League, co-champions, lost to Valley View in the Division III-AA first round playoffs36-50 overall last five seasonsHead coach: Jessie Gonzalez (third sea-son, 25-15)Last time missed the playoffs: 2010Key losses: Ashley Alatorre, Daniela Lo-zada, Samantha Lujan, Viviana Gomez, Dayna Moreno.
Now that Norwalk has won a Sub-urban League championship, its first in school history, and has experienced a win in the California Interscholastic Federation-Southern Section playoffs, the first since 1994, head coach Jessie Gonzalez is focused on building a consistent program. In the past four seasons, the Lady Lancers have gone from last place, to fourth, to third and finally first. Gonzalez said last season was attributed to a building process and that he had to change the pro-gram completely. He added that the program had to improve whether it took big steps or little steps and that last season’s success wasn’t something that happened overnight.
“It was amazing; it was a dream season,” Gonzalez said. “I’m glad I was lucky to be a part of it. I really appreciate the hard work that we all put in together. That is something that you can reflect on and
use as inspiration for this coming year.”So, what does Norwalk do for an en-
core? Well, despite losing probably the best setter in the league in Dayna Moreno, plus one of the league’s top power hitters in Viviana Gomez, the Lady Lancers re-turn eight players, led by senior middle blocker Jazmin Guzman, who comple-mented Gomez quite well. Senior middle blocker Megan Nolasco, senior setter Ela-na Auwae and senior defensive specialist
Junior outside hitter and opposite hit-ter Vanessa Cardenas, junior right side and opposite hitter Norma Marquez and junior setter Brenda Hernandez along with soph-omore middle blocker and opposite hitter Melanie Arias, sophomore outside hitter Ashley Whittall and sophomore defensive specialist Valerie Ortega join the varsity team.
Norwalk may have a lot of experience coming back but Gonzalez isn’t ready to make 2014 Suburban League champions shirts right now. In fact, there has been a different league champion the past three
“I’m not going to say easier just yet,” Gonzalez said of repeating. “But I do like our odds being in our favor. I have eight returning players but I’m seeing if this team can gel. It’s still going to be a challenging year. It’s going to take a lot of hard work seeing how we won league last year. And it’s always hard to repeat, but I think there’s a good chance we can.
“I think every year when someone wins league, that’s a team that everyone wants to gun for because they know they’re the league champs,” Gonzalez added. “That’s a big statement; being the league champs from the previous year. We may have a bulls-eye, but at the same time we’re go-ing to come in with the same attitude and determination to win every game regard-less of who we’re playing or where we’re playing. We plan on being better than we

2014 GIRLS VOLLEYBALL PREVIEWNorwalk ready to accept big target as defending Suburban League champions
Last time missed the playoffs: 2010Key losses: Ashley Alatorre, Daniela Lo-zada, Samantha Lujan, Viviana Gomez, Dayna Moreno.
Now that Norwalk has won a Sub-urban League championship, its first in school history, and has experienced a win in the California Interscholastic Federa-tion-Southern Section playoffs, the first since 1994, head coach Jessie Gonzalez is focused on building a consistent program. In the past four seasons, the Lady Lanc-ers have gone from last place, to fourth, to third and finally first. Gonzalez said last season was attributed to a building process and that he had to change the pro-gram completely. He added that the pro-gram had to improve whether it took big steps or little steps and that last season’s success wasn’t something that happened

Anna Bustos are the other upperclassmen on the squad. Auwae was an opposite hit-ter and middle blocker last season but was a setter her freshman and sophomore sea-sons.
The other four returning players are ju-nior middle blocker Leslie Leanos, junior libero Kathleen Perez, sophomore outside hitter and defensive specialist Athena Sio, who dazzled many around the league as a freshman, and sophomore defensive spe-cialist Paola Nava. But, the Lady Lancers added half a dozen new players who had tons of success last season on the junior varsity team.
“For this season, we knew we were very lucky to have a very talented j.v. team,” Gonzalez said. “So the transition for these new girls to varsity isn’t too dif-for these new girls to varsity isn’t too dif-for these new girls to varsity isn’t too difficult. But what we also focus on is hav-ing these younger girls practice at a higher level, even though they’re playing [on the j.v. team] just to get them prepared for the varsity level. I think you’re going to be a little surprised with what my team looks like this year.”
coming back but Gonzalez isn’t ready to make 2014 Suburban League champions shirts right now. In fact, there has been a different league champion the past three seasons.

Valley Christian is coming off of its second straight 20+ victory season and is welcoming in first-year head coach Mela-nie Nua, who brings quite a resume of vol-leyball experience with her. Nua had spent the past two seasons as the junior varsity coach at Los Alamitos while also help-ing with the varsity squad. She played at Lakewood High School before taking her
talents to the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. She also coached at Bishop Gor-man High School and is heavily involved with the Seal Beach Volleyball Club. Ulti-mately, Nua would like to coach a college team.
In fact, she heard about the V.C. open-ing from directors at Seal Beach Volley-ball Club, interviewed for the job and was offered the job as she got home on same day as her interview in mid April.
“It’s awesome; I love it,” Nua said. “I love being able to put everything that I’ve learned from [Los Alamitos and Bishop Gorman] and able to put it together and do something on my own with it. And, being able to do something that I love is always awesome at a good school.”
While the Lady Crusaders lose a big chunk of their offense in Amanda Cham-berlain and Maggie Streelman, they return seven solid players, led by senior opposite hitter Karly Dantuma, whom Nua says
will be a go-to hitter. Senior outside hitwill be a go-to hitter. Senior outside hit-ter Sam Yang also returns and according ter Sam Yang also returns and according to Nua is an overall consistent player and to Nua is an overall consistent player and passer who will pull everyone together.passer who will pull everyone together.

“It’s been a blessing,” Nua said. “They’ve all helped me through these past couple of months, just going back and see-ing what they’ve done and trying to mod-ify it a little bit and making it my own as well as adding a lot of my own things.”
Probably the one new player that could make an immediate impact and one that opponents should take notice in will be freshman outside hitter Madi Holmes,

The Rotary Club of La Mirada is planning a busy slate of activities for the coming year, according to President Sean Bracey.
The projects and activities are con-tained in budget plans approved recently by club members.
“Rotary intends to be very active in La Mirada,” says Bracey. “Rotary has gained momentum locally in recent years, and we plan to increase our level of activity as we go forward.”
The major community service proj-ect planned by Rotary will be the Needy Children’s Shopping Spree in December. More than 40 children from La Mirada will be taken to Marshall’s department store on Imperial Highway and Santa Ger-trudes Avenue to shop for warm clothing, jackets, and shoes. A holiday party will be held following the shopping event.
Rotary is planning to provide scholar-ships to a number of students graduating from La Mirada High School. Applica-tions for the scholarship program will be accepted in the Spring of 2015, and the applications will be reviewed by a com-mittee of Rotarians. Scholarship winners will be announced in May.
The Rotary Club is partnering with the Walmart Neighborhood Market to provide funding to support the Good Sam Pantry food distribution program at Beatitudes of Our Lord church. Rotary provided complete Thanksgiving meals through the pantry last year, and worked with Wal-mart’s Community Grants programs to expand support of the pantry during the holiday season.
The annual Independence Celebra-tion on July 3rd at La Mirada Regional
Park will again see Rotary participation. Students from La Mirada High School’s Interact Club will assist in operating a food booth at the event. Proceeds from the booth will be used to assist the Interact Club. Selected members of the Interact Club will also be sent to a mountain camp to participate in Rotary’s Youth Leader-ship Training Academy.
Rotary and Interact Club members will also be participating in the City of La Mirada’s annual Easter Egg Hunt at La Mirada Regional Park.
In keeping with tradition, Rotary mem-bers will continue to participate in the an-nual Memorial Day services honoring lo-cal service personnel. The event, which is sponsored by Veterans of Foreign Wars Post #9148 at Olive Lawn Memorial Park, provides a special tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation.
Rotary will be working with other lo-cal organizations to support other events in the community. Rotary members will work at the La Mirada Community Foun-dation’s “4 La Mirada Kids” carnival. Members will also participate in the “4 La Mirada Kids” golf tournament. Rotar-ians will also be involved with supporting the sale of rubber ducks for the Kiwanis Club’s annual Duck Race, which has been held at Splash! La Mirada Regional Aquatics Center in recent years. Rotary will join with other service organizations, area businesses and local churches to sup-port the annual Community Thanksgiv-ing Dinner at Foster Road Elementary School.
Other local organizations that Rotary is planning to support in the coming year include: Friends of the La Mirada Library, From Maddi’s Closet, La Mirada Sympho-

Dr. Marvi Iqbal Warns Local Residents about Sun Exposure, Skin Cancer DangersBy Randy Economy
Board Certi-fied Dermatolo-gist Marvi Iqbal warned members of the local com-munity on Monday night at the Cerri-tos Library about the “dangers” as-sociated with over exposure to the hot summer time sun
and the risks asso-ciated with devel-
oping skin cancer.Dr. Iqbal spoke openly about the disease
of skin cancer at a free public community forum sponsored by La Palma Intercom-munity Hospital in conjunction with Hews Media Group-Community Newspaper.
“Melanoma is the most dangerous form of skin cancer. When not caught at an early stage, it has a high probability of spread-ing (metastasizing) and potentially becom-ing lethal, and today we are seeing more and more cases than ever before,” Dr. Iqbal told those gathered.
However, Dr. Iqbal reminded the par-ticipants that two other major skin cancers — basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma (BCC and SCC) — are not to be ignored as well. She pointed out that “while not often fatal, these no melanoma skin cancers can be extremely destructive if not detected and treated early.”
“We live here in a desert, and we have the most direct exposure to these deadly ultra violet rays, and it doesn’t take a long time in the sun to get into a possible dan-gerous situation,” Dr. Iqbal continued.
She pointed to statistics from the Amer-ican Medical Association that shows that a substantial group of basal cell carcinomas and squamous cell carcinomas can be espe-cially aggressive and dangerous, growing and spreading quickly.
“They recur more often and lead to death more often than other types of basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carci-noma,” she said.
One local resident who attended the event said that he had suffered from skin cancer as a result to direct exposure to Agent Orange back when he was in the Vietnam War. The Cerritos man, who will not be publicly identified due to the nature of his medical situation, said that skin can-cer has directly affected his life and the life of his family. “It has been a very difficult ordeal,” the resident told those gathered.
Dr. Iqbal noted that skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States. More than 3.5 million skin cancers in over two million people are diagnosed annually and each year there are more new cases of skin cancer than the combined in-cidence of cancers of the breast, prostate, lung and colon.
One in five Americans will develop skin cancer in the course of a lifetime, the doctor pointed out.
Dr. Iqbal said that residents around Cer-ritos and Southeast Los Angeles County should keep a simple rule in practice when venturing out into the hot summer heat and sun. She recommend at least a SPF 30 and SPF 50 UBB Protective sunscreen.
“I like to tell my patients to slip, slop, slap, seek and slide as much sunscreen on as possible before going out into direct sunlight, especially in August and Septem-ber when the sun is the closet to the earth,” she stressed.
Enterprising Executive Chef Carlos Garcia Hits Road to 'Change the Look of Cooks'By Randy Economy
Executive Chef Carlos Garcia, who has carved out a master reputation as being one of the finest culinary wizards in South-ern California for the last two decades, has tossed his kitchen carving knives aside for a while in order to revolutionize how pro-fessional chefs dress, look and feel, day in and day out.
Garcia who was raised in Pico Rivera, and currently living with his wife Lacey and two young children in nearby Downey have created a rolling, mobile warehouse, and design center that he hopes will revo-lutionize the way restaurants, hotels, and even private chefs create their own unique individual style, one chef coat and apron at a time.
Garcia has developed what many in the culinary world believe is the first mobile fleet of large converted delivery trucks into swanky, funky, consumer friendly clothing
apparel stores on wheels.Using the name “Lost Car Chef Ap-
parel,” the eye popping black, green and white graphically stunning wrapped trucks have already been fueling the demand for chefs who want to purchase their own tailor made coats, aprons, hats and shirts without having to leave their restaurants, hotels or their places of employment.
“We are injecting style, personality and identity into the culinary world, and we are bringing our apparel to chefs up and down California,” Garcia told Hews Me-dia Group-Community Newspaper in a sit down interview held in the parking lot of the Cerritos-based news organization.
“Lost Car Chef Apparel is nothing like you've ever seen before. Not only are we a full service mobile retail chef apparel shop, but we've managed to squeeze in custom embroidery and the very best in design and branding consultation for every chef’s specific needs,” Garcia boasted.
“Chefs are busy people, especially the very best in the industry. But, Chefs have very little time to actually spend shopping for the traditional chef ware,” Garcia said.
When entering the back door of “Lost Car Apparel,” Chef’s quickly grasp the magic of Garcia and his team of profes-sional staff members, including his wife Lacy.
“There no longer is a long wait to per-sonalize your brand new chef apparel,”
Garcia boasts.“Our trucks are equipped with top of
the line embroidery machines,” Garcia quipped. “Lacy is a genius when it comes to designs suggestions. It has been a real blessing to have this become a family ef-blessing to have this become a family ef-blessing to have this become a family effort.”
On top of their own Lost Car Chef Ap-parel line, Garcia offers a variety of other

Valley Christian senior running back Jonathan Nicholson touched the ball on the first play of his team’s season opener against Duarte last Friday night at Cru-sader Field. However, it wasn’t a rushing play nor did he catch a pass.That would come on the very next play as he broke loose for a 46-yard gain around the right side. Four plays after that, he would score the first of his four touch-downs as the Crusaders routed the Falcons 50-6. The outcome was never in doubt, unlike last season’s opener against Duarte in which V.C. wasted a 14-0 first quarter lead and a 21-7 halftime advantage in a 28-24 loss.This time, the hosts scored on their first three drives of the opening quarter. Then after Duarte’s lone score with 23.2 sec-onds left in the opening stanza, the Cru-saders didn’t allow the Falcons to cross midfield until the third quarter, by which time V.C. was comfortably ahead 36-6.“When we looked back at last year’s film, what we really saw was we really didn’t play well in that game,” said V.C. head coach Woodie Grayson. “They gave us some opportunities which we took advantage of. But they really controlled that game last year. So, we just challenged them to play well and then finish and they did that tonight. They rose to the chal-lenge.”Nicholson, who gained 1,339 yards last season, recovered a fumble by his own teammate on the first play of the game but finished the six-play drive with a three-yard score. On V.C.’s fourth play of the second possession, he found the end zone again as he rumbled in from 14 yards out. When the first quarter had concluded, Nicholson had already gained 117 yards on eight carries. He would finish the contest with 146 yards on 16 touches and sat out the entire fourth quarter with the game being played under running clock conditions.“My line was blocking for me today and I’m really grateful for that,” Nicholson said. “I just got the ball and found a hole. They just opened it up for me and I just did the rest. We’re going to have a long season, but I trust them and I trust them to block for me.”With 88 seconds remaining in the open-ing quarter, senior wide receiver Kent Running hauled in a 17-yard touchdown from senior quarterback Will Brines, who would also add a two-point conversion for a 22-0 lead. Brines would complete all five of his passes for 76 yards and shared the passing duties with senior Jack Struiksma, who was four of six for 96 yards. At one point, those two combined
to complete their first eight passes.“We would like to be balanced but it doesn’t always work that way,” Grayson said. “But we feel like we have a number of guys who can do some things with the ball. We’re not as balanced tonight as we would like to be. But we think we’ll get more balanced as we go forward.”“We’re running some of our option this year, so when we run our option, [coach] Grayson likes to put in Will just because he likes to run the ball,” Nicholson said. “With Jack, you put him in, he throws those long balls and [the receivers] are gone. It’s even-even.”Nicholson would score a pair of touch-downs in the final 3:48 of the first half-a six-yard score followed by a 10-yard jaunt after a fumbled snap on a punt attempt gave the Crusaders great field position. Brines would intercept an Isaiah Scott pass three and a half minutes into the third quarter and V.C. capitalized on the miscue not once, but twice. First, senior Brian Cok recovered a fumble after the Crusaders were forced to punt. Then after a Nicholson four-yard run and a 20-yard reception from senior tight end Kyle Westra, Brines scored from six yards out to make it 43-6. The last touchdown of the night came on a 61-yard run from junior running back Quaid Kawana. In all, V.C. racked up 438 yards but had nearly 100 yards more rushing than passing. The 50 points scored were the most by the Crusaders in either the month of August or September since blasting the Falcons 54-0 on Sept. 27, 2002. In fact, since 2002, the Crusaders have scored at least 50 points
nine times.“This year we have a few seniors on the line because we had a lot of seniors from last year who [graduated],” Nicholson said. “The run game is just a lot stronger this year. We have more experienced play-ers this time and I just think we’re going to have a great season.”The Falcons were held to less than 200 yards on the night as senior defensive back Chandler Vos posted seven tackles while Running and junior defensive end Matt Sigala each added five tackles. “One of the things that we felt was going to be a key was we knew they would have trouble blocking us up front because we thought we were bigger and more physi-cal that we were last year,” Grayson said. “We were just worried about them going over the top of our heads, which they did that one time. But we knew against the run, our defense would be solid.”Next up for the Crusaders will be a home meeting with Cerritos tonight. Last sea-son, V.C. trailed the Dons 16-7 after the first quarter before rallying for a 42-28 win. It will be the season opener for Cer-ritos, which comes off a 2-8 season.“That was a football team that was play-ing on emotion for one quarter,” Grayson said of last season’s game. “They hadn’t played football as a program on the var-sity level for a year. So they were basi-cally learning how to play. They have a year under their belts. They’re big; they’re going to be physical. They know their system. We’re going to have our work cut out for us.”

who along with Dantuma, could form a very explosive one-two punch. Junior Chloe Winter is slated to be the starting setter and Nua says that she is an ‘ex-tremely hard worker and will never say no to you’. Other newcomers will be senior outside hitter Brianna Westra, junior mid-dle blockers Katelyn Albani and Kerryn Harrington and junior defensive specialist and libero Emily McLurg.
V.C. hasn’t won an Olympic League crown since 2001 when it went 8-0. Since then the Lady Crusaders have gone 6-2 and 4-4 four times and 5-3 and 3-5 twice. The Olympic League has been so tightly contested that there have been second place teams finishing at 4-4. V.C. finished in third place last season at 4-4 but the sea-son before, it had the same league mark and finished in a tie for second.
“I know Heritage Christian just from family that lives up in that area,” Nua said.
“I know Whittier Christian; I’ve seen them play a few times and they’re pretty good. Valley Christian, I know just from playing at Lakewood, usually has a good showing. I’ve heard a little bit about Village Chris-tian and Maranatha.”
Of the eight losses by the Lady Crusad-ers last season, half of them came by way of three-set sweeps, two of them to league champion Whittier Christian. In fact, V.C. has lost 10 straight matches to the Heralds, the longest such streak amongst league opponents.
“I’ve asked the girls many times what was holding them back last year from do-ing great things,” Nua said. “They had some great athletes on the team. They would say the same [generic] things like, ‘we just couldn’t finish towards the end’. What I wanted to do this year was bring in some things that they hadn’t done, like the 7:00 a.m. workouts. I want to push them a little bit more than they have in the previous years. What I’ve been hearing is they have come close but not quite close [enough].”

TURNOVERS, PENALTIES SPOIL GLENN’S NEW GROUND ATTACKBy Loren Kopff
LA MIRADA-There were plenty of things to be pleased about in John Glenn’s opening-season 14-7 loss to Magnolia last Thursday night at Goodman Stadium. While first-year head coach Vince Loben-dahn wanted a victory, which would have snapped an Eagles 15-game, on the field losing streak, he did see a turnaround from last season’s opener.
Last season, the Eagles trailed 28-6 at the half and never got back into game, which was a 41-20 Magnolia game. Fast forward one-year later and the two teams were mired in a 7-7 tie for over 36 minutes until Lupe Lopez scored from six yards out with 6:09 remaining in the game.
“Magnolia is athletic and our goal was to bottle them, put some pressure away from the back and get them to have some of the mistakes that they could have,” Lobendahn said. “We were trying to capitalize and the capitalization didn’t happen. They’re a good team and we had our hands full coming in. To play the way we did and the fight, grudge match that we did…my kids only wanted a victory because they got in a game and had a chance at the end to put us in a position to tie or win. I’m very thankful that they competed.”
The Sentinels scored four plays into the contest when Fernando Garcia con-nected with Kalolo Pangia for a 42-yard connection. But after both teams traded fumbles, the Eagles got on the board when senior running back Jamal Burns
busted up the middle and matriculated 63 yards to the end zone.
From that point on until the fourth quarter, both teams couldn’t generate much because they would hurt themselves with either penalties, turnovers, or in Glenn’s case, time management. Loben-dahn had to burn two timeouts within the first 4:41 of the game. The Eagles would be flagged 14 times for 104 yards and fumbled four times. Two of those fumbles ended drives of over five minutes, the first ending at Magnolia’s 18-yard line with 3:31 left in the third quarter and the second coming with 53 seconds remain-ing in the contest.
Following Magnolia’s second touch-down, the Eagles took the ball at their own 22-yard line and used the legs of senior quarterback Erick Galindo and his 21-yard throw to senior running back Dominic Enriquez to get the ball to the 18-yard line. But a fumble on fourth and three ended any chance for a potential tying score.
On the positive side, Glenn was in the game because of the work performed by senior quarterback Aaron Conrad (22 carries, 104 yards) and Burns (10 carries, 101 yards). As a team, the Eagles racked up 231 yards on the ground and only attempted the one successful pass, which came on fourth and 11.
“Just the hard work these kids did from the moment I got the job to what I’ve seen tonight, I’m winning in my heart,” Lobendahn said. “These kids are really helping me here and I just feel grateful for them. Our goal is to put a couple of 100 [yard rushers] out there for these young men.”
Just as impressive as the running aspect was the job put in by the defense. The Sentinels had only two rushes for at least 10 yards and three passing plays of over seven yards. Glenn held Magnolia
to 180 yards of of-fense and was led by senior defensive end Alexis Torres (four tackles, one sack), Galindo (four tackles) and Burns (three tackles). Senior lineman Anthony Varos also had a sack and recovered one of Magnolia’s three fumbles.
“Coach [John] Washington comes from Fremont [High School] and he’s played against some really good spread teams,” Lobendahn said. “We’re talking Crenshaw champi-onship teams and Narbonne cham-pionship teams. He’s coming in here seeing spread teams and he lines up well. He knows what he’s seeing and I have some faith there and I’m just going to let him do his thing.”
Glenn hosted Pioneer at Goodman Stadium on Sept. 4 and will do the same against Santa Ana Valley on Friday.

forcement officials in Washington State, but that he “wasn’t a bad kid.” He had five children.
“He did stupid stuff sometimes, but he wasn’t a bad person, and he didn’t deserve this,” one source said.
A former day care provider when Zom-alt as a child, said he was “always asking questions, very talkative and wanted to explore nature.”
HMG-CN learned that Zomalt’s moth-er remarried and they moved from the Cerritos-Cypress area to Washington.
HMG-CN also learned that Zomalt had a falling out with a previous stepfa-ther, and eventually left the family home to live on his own.
Last Spring, HMG-CN was told that he informed friends of his here in Cerritos and Cypress that he lived in “fear of the police” in Washington, because he was a rapper and African-American living in a “white” community.
Zomalt told friends that he was work-ing “to get justice for a police beating that had resulted in death threats from a police department (in Washington).”
On his Facebook, he claims the police charged him with rape as a discrediting move and he was not convicted.
Also being reported is that Zomalt’s roommate has not been seen in several days.
HMG-CN will have additional updates in the coming days and weeks.

alleging, among other things, that her con-tract was not renewed because she refused Apodaca’s sexual advances.
HMG-CN was the first newspaper to uncover and report about the lawsuit. Since then, several other news agencies, radio talk shows, and news broadcasts have reported on the coverage.
Westlake Village-based law firm Sot-tile-Baltaxe filed the fifteen-page com-plaint at Los Angeles County Superior Court back in November 2013 on behalf of Lopez, who worked for the embroiled public agency for just six months in 2012.
In the lawsuit, Lopez alleged that Apodaca began making lewd comments shortly after she was hired. Lopez claims that Apodaca would speak to her in person or contact her via phone asking her “who do you blow,” telling her “he would not mind laying into her,” and boasted about “tag teaming” women at conferences he attended, among other things.
The suit also requests damages in eight different areas, the most serious of which include assault, battery, and sexual battery. Lopez alleged that Apodaca en-gaged in a series of inappropriate actions, including trying to kiss her and attempting to stroke her hands and thighs. These ac-tions required Lopez to seek medical at-tention, which she continues to this day. The lawsuit did not specify her injury.
Lopez further claims that she is still suffering from mental anguish because of her ordeal.
Lopez’s lawsuit also says she repeat-edly reported the sexual harassment to the Board, the upper management, and the general council of the CBMWD but no
action was taken and the harassment was allowed to continue. Lopez alleges that Apodaca retaliated by not renewing her contract.
The settlement in the case was reached on June 10, 2014.
In the settlement, Apodaca and Central Basin Water District did not admit “guilt” in the case, and Lopez has agreed not to pursue additional legal action against the agency.
Apodaca has become a lightning rod for controversy over the past several years as an elected member of the five-director agency that is the focal point of a massive criminal probe by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the United States Depart-ment of Justice and several other agen-cies.
HMG-CN was the first news agency to exclusively report on the details of the criminal probe that has already resulted in the arrest of California State Senator Ronald Calderon and former Assembly-man Thomas Calderon. Both are facing several years in Federal prison if found guilty. Their trial is expected to begin in late November.
Apodaca is fighting for his political life as a director at Central Basin, and is facing long odds of being reelected in the upcoming November election. Apodaca’s main opponent is business executive Tom Malkasian, who has already garnered the support of dozens of area elected of-the support of dozens of area elected of-the support of dozens of area elected officials and community leaders, including LA County Supervisor Don Knabeand former Lt. Governor Cruz Bustamante. Also running is La Mirada businessperson Noel Jamies, and James Becerra who lists his occupation as a college professor and a resident of Whittier.
Hews Media Group-Community Newspaper confirmed that Zomalt used the stage name “Stayz Freshmore” and was a rap artist who had several songs re-corded and placed on sites such as You-Tube and Facebook.
Last week a bloodstained chunk of carpet found officials retrieved ablaze on the side of a road in a heavily wooded area in Auburn, Washington and DNA re-sults confirmed that the blood belonged to Zomalt.
The Pierce County Sheriff’s Depart-ment told media outlets that an anonymous tip lead them to a home on Military Road in South Hill on Monday night — and the body of Zomalt, which, investigators said, had been there for some time.
The mystery death first sparked a “bodiless homicide investigation” throughout the Northwest section of the United States, specifically between the areas of Lakewood and Auburn in Wash-ington State.
The investigation appears to have come to a tragic conclusion with the dis-covery of the lifeless body on Monday.
Zomalt lived in an area between the two municipalities and he maintained two different Facebook accounts, under his real name and his performance name.
On June 15, Zomalt posted under his “Stayz Freshmore” persona the follow-ing:
“Ok we are going back to Iraq and this time it’s clearly about oil. That means all those idiot people who said it was not about oil the first time were wrong. Oh yeah and happy father’s day.”
Longtime family friends of Zomalt say that he has had past “run-ins” with law en-

to carry firearms, ammunition, and ammu-nition clips, apparently in violation of the California Penal Code.
The program has been in effect since 2000. Code Enforcement Officers were al-lowed to carry GLOCK 22 and GLOCK 23 .40 caliber pistols which can fire up to 16 rounds, with a clip capacity of 15 rounds.
They also wore bulletproof vests and carried handcuffs and pepper spray.
Sources inside Compton City Hall pro-vided HMG-CN with dozens of internal emails between several city officials in-cluding City Manager G. Harold Duffey, City Attorney Craig Cornwell, Sergeant of Code Enforcement Carl Houston, mem-bers of the city council, Human Resources Manager Mario Beas and Chief Building Official Paige Vaughan.
A May 6, 2014 email from Vaughan to Houston seemed to indicate that city offi-cials did not know who issued the firearms, what type of firearms and equipment each officer had, and if their badges were up-to-date.
Vaughan asked Houston: Who issued these firearms? Please provide a list of City issued/owned equipment provided to each officer? (I) need a list of city surplus property and location of city purchased safety vests, sand browns, handcuffs, pep-per spray, etc.
Vaughan goes on to request, "please let me know if there are any sets of keys in anyone's possession to vehicles not of-in anyone's possession to vehicles not of-in anyone's possession to vehicles not officially issued (to officers)." She also re-quested an accounting for all the badge "conditions" and issuance date.
Then on May 28 Compton City Man-ager Duffey sent an email asserting that the Officers were out of compliance with their weapons permits.
Sergeant Houston contended that the weapons training program PC 832 "did not lapse," while Vaughn indicated that since Code Enforcement was not a Police De-partment, PC 832 does not qualify the of-partment, PC 832 does not qualify the of-partment, PC 832 does not qualify the officers to carry guns at any time.
Duffey wrote, "no one has questioned the PC 832 requirement of the officer's ability to carry hand guns? They have been carrying since 2000."
PC 832 is part of the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training, or
COMPTONContinued from page 1
POST. All the rules for peace officers are set by POST, including hiring, firing, and training.
Later an Aug. 6, 2014 email was sent, apparently after several questions from Vaughan, asserting that Compton does not have a current POST for more than ten years and has no Peace Officer assign-ments.
The City has been "out of the system" and has not applied for any positions.
In effect, the email indicated that the Code Enforcement Officers did not have a current certificate and therefore were not qualified to carry guns.
Once hearing this, City Manager Duf-Once hearing this, City Manager Duf-Once hearing this, City Manager Duffey made the decision to halt the practice effective today Tuesday, September 2.
It is believed that Compton is the only municipality in Los Angeles County to al-low Code Enforcement Officers to carry guns.
Duffey stated in his directive in an email that was distributed on Wednesday, August 27, that “on Tuesday, August 26, 2014, a Meet and Confer was held with City Management, the City Attorney (Cromwell) and (union leaders) AFSCME Local 2325 and Local 3947 representa-tives, relative to the use of firearms.”
“After careful review and discussion, it has been mandated that the authorized use and carry of any and all firearms for Code Enforcement employees shall be DISCONTINUED, effective Tuesday, September 2, 2014. This agreement was the outcome of safety concerns and the po-tential liability for the City of Compton,” Duffey stated in his one page memo.
Duffey, who is considered by many in Compton as being a “solid city manager,” demanded that
all firearms and associated equipment must be turned in for inventory and receipt between the hours of 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m., on Tuesday, September 2, 2014, at 404 North Alameda Street.”
Duffey said that code enforcement of-Duffey said that code enforcement of-Duffey said that code enforcement officers must return firearms, ammunition, ammunition clips, firearm cases, firearm manuals, federal identification shell cas-ings with fired bullet(s) and city issued Sam Browne Carrying Holsters.
According to the Compton website, the mission of the Municipal Law En-forcement Services Department “is to cre-ate and maintain a safe, attractive environ-ment for the citizens of Compton through aggressive enforcement of laws and codes
that pertain to vehicle violations, zoning, and maintenance of residential, commer-cial and industrial properties.”
The department has no connection with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Compton Station.
The department, according to the web-site, “is also responsible for providing comprehensive, proactive enforcement programs and services designed to elimi-nate slum and blight conditions and main-tain the overall safety and appearance of the community.”
“The department focuses on the abate-ment of weeds and debris on residential, commercial and industrial properties; en-forcing codes related to parking violations, zoning infractions, and property mainte-nance; and increasing security and safety in and around City facilities. In addition to enforcement activities, MLES provides public information designed to promote safety and property maintenance,” the website stresses.
“What the hell are these employees doing carrying deadly firearms. When was the last time any sane city in America would strap a gun and ammo on to an em-ployee for them to check if someone has too many weeds growing in their front lawn,” a longtime resident of Compton told HMG-CN. The resident said they did not want to be publicly named for the pur-poses of this report.
vehicles were impounded.Sergeant Perry Miller of the Downey
PD released a statement stressing, “In California, this deadly crime led to 774 deaths because someone failed to desig-nate a sober driver. Nationally, the latest data shows nearly 10,000 were killed by an impaired driver. Over the course of the past three years, DUI collisions have claimed no lives but resulted in 101 injury crashes harming nearly 150 of our friends and neighbors.”
Miller went on to say that, “The deter-rent effect of DUI checkpoints is a proven resource in reducing the number of per-sons killed and injured in alcohol or drug involved crashes. Research shows that crashes involving an impaired driver can
DOWNEYContinued from page 1
be reduced by up to 20 percent when well-publicized DUI checkpoints and proactive DUI patrols are conducted routinely.”
Officers trained to look for indications of drivers under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs were out in full force. The checkpoint also included inspection for proper licensing and insurance.
Recent statistics reveal that 30 percent of drivers in fatal crashes had one or more drugs in their systems. A study of active drivers showed more tested positive for drugs that may impair driving (14 percent) than did for alcohol (7.3 percent). Of the drugs, marijuana was most prevalent, at 7.4 percent, slightly more than alcohol.
DUI Checkpoints are placed in loca-tions based on collision statistics and fre-quency of DUI arrests affording the great-est opportunity for achieving drunk and drugged driving. Locations are chosen with safety considerations for the officers and the public. This was the # checkpoint for the city of Downey.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), checkpoints have provided the most effec-tive documented results of any of the DUI enforcement strategies.
Drivers caught driving impaired can expect the impact of a DUI arrest to in-clude jail time, fines, fees, DUI classes and other expenses that can exceed $10,000.
Miller says, “wat the Downey Police Department would like to remind every-one to have a safe and sober holiday sea-son. Unfortunately, the excitement and celebrations of the holiday season can lead to terrible decisions and serious legal consequences. Statistics have shown that the holiday season is a particularly deadly time due to the increased number of drunk drivers on the roads, and the Downey Po-lice Department is prepared to stop and ar-rest any drunk driver they see to keep the roads safe.”
Funding for this checkpoint is pro-vided to Downey Police Department by a grant from the California Office of Traf-grant from the California Office of Traf-grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Miller reminds everyone to be on the lookout for impaired drivers and contact 911.

The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is $344,308.11. The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROP-ERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 916-939-0772 for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this Internet Web site www.nationwide-posting.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case 20130028700632. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the In-ternet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.
